Tipperary Arts is committed to making our website and online content as accessible and usable as possible for all users, including disabled people and people with additional access or support needs.
This statement explains the steps we take to support accessibility, the standards we aim to follow, any known limitations, and how you can contact us if you experience an accessibility barrier.
Our website is guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
Introduction
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This includes people using assistive technologies, keyboard navigation, screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, or other tools that support access to online content.
Measures to Support Accessibility
To support accessibility across our website, we aim to:
- Include accessibility considerations in our website design and content practices
- Use clear layouts, readable text, and sufficient colour contrast
- Structure pages with appropriate headings and semantic HTML
- Support keyboard navigation where possible
- Provide meaningful alternative text for images where appropriate
- Review new content and functionality for accessibility issues
- Improve accessibility over time as our website and online content develop
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for disabled people. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Tipperary Arts aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
At present, our website may be partially conformant. This means that while many parts of the website are designed to meet accessibility standards, some content or features may not yet fully conform. We are working to identify and improve these areas.
Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, there may be some accessibility limitations on our website.
Known or possible limitations may include:
- Embedded video content: Some embedded videos may rely on captions or controls provided by third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. Captions may not always be fully accurate, and audio descriptions may not always be available.
- Third-party content: Some accessibility issues may arise from external platforms, embedded media, social media feeds, maps, booking tools, or other third-party services that are outside our direct control.
- Older content or documents: Some older images, documents, or downloadable files may not yet be fully accessible. We will review and improve these where possible.
If you experience an accessibility issue not listed here, please contact us using the details below.
